cpuid.c utilizes vmemdup_user() and array_size() to copy two userspace arrays. This, currently, does not check for an overflow. Use the new wrapper vmemdup_array_user() to copy the arrays more safely, as vmemdup_user() doesn't check for overflow. Note, KVM explicitly checks the number of entries before duplicating the array, i.e. adding the overflow check should be a glorified nop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
